Sidewalk Film Festival is produced by the Alabama Moving Image Association, a federally recognized 501c3 non-profit organization with a mission to inspire, encourage and support filmgoers, the city of Birmingham and the filmmaking community. In addition to hosting the annual film festival, we host monthly networking and educational events, a monthly documentary series, short film and screenwriting competitions, manage a youth board and a variety of other year-round programs.

Tickets sales to our events cover approximately 1/3 of our annual operating cash budget, so we depend on corporate sponsors, grant-making organizations and individuals like you to survive. if you’d like to know more about supporting Sidewalk, please contact us at sidewalk@sidewalkfest.com.

Antibiotics have lead the fight against new diseases since their beginning in the 1940's.

This is mostly due to the immunities that they introduce into our bodies. Resistance explores this strong hypothesis, included are interviews with doctors on both sides of the debate. The slick and concise documentary provides an amazing crash course in the flux world of antibiotics. Never leaning too far on one side of the issue, Resistance finds a wonderful balance between informing the viewer about the facts while reminding us to further educate ourselves about this worldwide challenge
